Worldway Comprehensive News: In a positive development, citizens wishing to travel to Portugal can now apply for visas at the Portugal Visa Center in Shanghai. Recently, the Portugal Visa Application Center located at 213 Sichuan Middle Road, Jiushi Business Building officially opened, signaling that Portugal will attract more Chinese tourists in the future and promote further Chinese immigration investment.

Portugal Opens Visa Application Center in Shanghai to Attract More Chinese Tourists

  Joaquim Lemos, the Consul General of Portugal in Shanghai, stated that the system at the Portugal Visa Application Center in Shanghai will enhance data collection and protection, and the visa process will be completely transparent and trustworthy. This will attract more Chinese tourists to visit Portugal. Unlike other European countries with iconic landmarks, Portugal offers a diverse and multi-layered travel experience for tourists, with different cities providing various travel options: the enchanting traditional music of Lisbon; the rich wines of Porto; the turquoise waters of the Algarve; traditional villages scattered with medieval castles; gourmet feasts at Michelin-starred restaurants; and world-class surfing and golf destinations—all of which captivate Chinese travelers.


  Currently, Chinese investors traveling to Portugal continue to show the same enthusiasm as last year. Last year, Chinese tourists spent an average of 935 euros per person in Portugal, making them one of the strongest consumer groups in the country. This year, China also participated in the Lisbon Tourism Fair for the first time, indicating a growing interest in the Portuguese tourism market, which has also fueled enthusiasm for property investment immigration to Portugal.

  As a high-value personal investment immigration project, the Portugal property investment immigration program is recognized in the industry for its investment price advantages, lower application thresholds, ease of obtaining citizenship, and the ability to work locally while also allowing both spouses, elderly parents, and children to benefit from the immigration process. Purchasing a property worth 500,000 euros allows for quick immigration to Portugal, and after holding a valid residence permit for six years, one can apply for citizenship. One application allows the entire family to immigrate and enjoy EU welfare benefits. Worldway, as the first immigration agency in China to introduce the "Portugal Golden Residence" property investment immigration program, is the only Chinese immigration agency with an independent branch in Portugal. It has successfully assisted hundreds of Chinese investors in completing their investments in Portugal and obtaining Golden Residence Cards. Its branch in Portugal is located on the bustling Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon, making it the preferred legal immigration agency for investment immigrants. For Portugal immigration inquiries, call 400-138-2929.
